Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan 19.— Most of the boys around the nineteenth hole are bleating because Bobby Jones has decided to be reminiscent rather than instructive over the air. Yet to me his recital of those matches with Perry Adair when the two youngsters were in short pants and shooting better golf than the men champions of Dixie was as absorbingly interesting as any sports yarn I ever heard. tt a a Major Jimei Joooph Tunney mut bare been Juet a nbrewd out of the sing a* be was in. Tim Mara didn’t get through the flrat round trying to win a court derialon over him and .Mr. Max (Double Boo) Hoff didn't even respond for the epeninr bell. u n • They tell me. incidentally the Hofl naocra. signed an hour before the Philadelphia fight by both Billy Otbson and Tunney. was a safety first measure. Hoff had promised to see that ’'everything was nil right. ’’ Both Olbson and Tunney were nrettv sure they could win on the level. But It v as thought best to keep Hofl from < reatlng any foreign obstacles. So the papers were signed. Theme sdhg: Double Crossing Double Cronsers. tt tt tt IHAVE read the contract which Hoff threatened to bring into court In an effort to collect 20 per cent of Tunney’s earnings. Throughout the document the former champion is referred to as Eugene Joseph Tunney—a matter of sixteen different times, to be speciific. Tunney’s real name happens to be James Joseph. Mr. Hoff must have been in a confused state of mind w hen he drew it up. tt tt a Chick Meehan, the New 1 ork university footba'l coach, tells this one. The Georgia team came to the bowl to plav Yale last fall. Catfish Smith of the southerners tackled Albie Booth with what seemed to be undue vigor. The Yale midget got up and barked: “Lav off that stuff. It doesn't go around here.” Smith growled back: “Isszzzaaatsssooo! Well, something else Isn’t going to go around here today, and it’s you.” tt a a Probably no lighter in history ever had a more highly developed faculty for doing the wrong thing at the right time than Jack Sharkey, the Boston Lithuanian. Most of his oflenses against good taste and simple deceny have been charged to the Ignorance of his handlers, but there bust be a stage in maturity where even the confirmed dullard begins to think for himself, no matter how poignant the pain. tt tt a Ghost Writers Union ought I. to take this bird Dempsey in hand. He admits publicly he never sees what appears under his name in the newspapers. 'T just tell ’em to go ahead and write what they want to.” he admits. ‘•They usually know what to say.” One ot his favorite gags is to buy a newspaper, turn to the sports pages and say: “Well, let me see what that fellow Deinpsev is writing about today.” a a a Jhr liovs arc whispering that Jack Kearns and Jimmy Johnston are playing ball again, that Walker soon is formally to renounce his middleweight litle, that he is to he matched with Sharkey, that this is to be New York’s battle of the century for the coming summer, and that Mr. James J. Johnston himself is going to promote it. tt tt tt The Tom Heeney-Max Baer thing the other night added another farce to the growing number of Madison Square Garden. Perhaps It would be for the best If the house that Tex built were turned over permnnetlv to Mr. Ringllng’s painted clowns. Thev give you bigger and better laughs for less dough.

Braddoek and Schaaf to Trade Swings in New York

BY HENRY M’LEMORE NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Madison Square Garden on Friday night will present a ten-round bout between James J. Braddoek of Jersey City, and Ernie Schaaf of Boston. Both Braddoek and Schaaf are sober, steady, ambitious workmen, and both can be depended upon to go in there and fight a steady, sober slugging fight. Such a fight will be just the sort to follow’ last week’s comic bill and uphold the Garden's apparent policy of something different every Friday. The Schaaf-Braddock fight is certain to be hard-fought from be-

ONLY TWO BIG TEN MACHINES ESCAPE DEFEAT

Illini Out of Running All Other Teams Figured With Chance: More Games Tonight. Up United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—The 1931 Big Ten basketball race entered the second quartet today with Northwestern and Chicago tied for the lead. Fifteen of the season’s sixty scheduled have been played with the Wildcats and Maroons the only teams undefeated. The quintets generally appear better balanced than at any time in recent years, and coaches are predicting that any team which is able to win nine of twelve contests will earn at least a tie for honors. Illinois, with four consecutive defeats, is counted out of the title chase, but all the other teams still have an opportunity to win. Northwestern and Ohio State have been outstanding to date and the Wildcats continue in the favorite role, but there is a strong probability that games this week will change the outlook. Northwestern plays Michigan tonight and the Wolverines have hopes of reversing the five-point defeat sustained in a previous game at Northwestern. Ohio is idle tonight, but will invade Northwestern Saturday. Chicago has shown the greatest improvement over last year of any team in the league, but the Maroons’ championship qualifications are unproven. Chicago’s Stories over Indiana and Minnesota were scored by the margin of a single point, and while one-point victories count as much as any others in the win column they leave doubt as to the superiority of the winners.

Jim Collins Tops League By United Presn NEW YORK, Jan. 19— Jim Collins, Rochester first baseman, who will be with the Cardinals this year, was the outstanding batsman in the International League during the 1930 season, according to the official league figures released today. Collins, in addition to leading the league with a percentage of .376, made the most number of hits 234, most triples, 19, and batted in the most runs, 180. The latter figure broke the old record of 167 established by Dei Bissonette of Buffalo, in 1927. Joe Hauser, Baltimore first baseman, was not far behind Collins in effectiveness at the late. Hauser scored the most runs, 173, hit for the most total of bases, 443, and led in home runs with 63, all of Hauser’s marks set new league records, and his home run total broke all records, major or minor.

ginning to end. Schaaf showed in his fight here with Baer that he is a better than ordinary boxer, can take plenty of punishment, and is a fairly strong hitter. Braddoek, while not much of a boxer, can hit. His right hand always has been a thing of beauty, and the fact that he has acquired some fifteen or twenty more pounds and is a legitimate heavjtoeight, has lone nothing to rob the right of its pow’er. it he can manage to land that ight several times, Braddoek may ipset those 8 to' 5 odds on Schaaf.

GOSSIP today in Indianapolis basketball circles centered itself on the pending city series to be staged at Technicals’ gym Friday and Saturday. And, of course, since Shortridge and Technical meet in a first-round game the major portion of the talk concerns those two teams and their respective chances for victory. Manual, too, squeezes into the spotlight and the south siders are looked upon by many as a deserving dark horse. a Saturday afternoon Shortridge would have been an odds-on favorite.

Two field goals were all the bovs collected, one by Heckman on a cutthrough play that carried him directly under the basket, the other on a long attempt by Bulliet. tt it it THAT brings up the question of whether Shortridge can stand the tournament pace. The boys were worn out after Friday night's game. It was a tough one, but there are tough ones in tournaments, too, and sometimes they come on the same day, not the day after. tt tt Technical may not get to first base In the city series, but that shouldn’t eliminate them from consideration for higher honors later In the year.

Frankfort easily is the better team, but we did expect the boys to let that one slide by. It simply means that Frankfort apparently can take the Hatchets’ measure any time, anywhere, anyhow. Lawhead, Thompson and Shaver each collected four field goals for the Casemen. Thompson added five free throw’s. That’s one thing Frankfort’s opponents should learn. Don’t foul Thompson if it can be helped. He gets a lot of practice from that charity stripe, and he makes them count.
